    Barely shy of 200cm tall, Auburn red hair, green eyes.

    Rough Circumference: Over Bust ~41’ Under bust ~37’ Waist 30’ Hips 40’

    Leg length 38’

    My shoulders are somewhat broad and I have a bit of a top biast mild hourglass look. I look a bit like I work out when I don’t because of it. I tend to find tank tops work well, while shirts that have a small neck, or stuff like turtlenecks look really bad (too broad, too uniform).

    I mostly like witchy vibes but I like colour in it. I’ve been trying to get fairy core to work for me but they’re often uncomfortable, too over the top, or don’t stick to the loose rules I have (high waisted clothes, cinched waist, open necks, form fitting where possible.) I’ve been trying to get goth working too but i don’t want to wear just black. Getting professional clothes that work has been a unaccomplished challenge because of sizing/not wanting to wear bland, but I wear a lab coat so I can hide it, but would appreciate help there for when I can’t hide behind the coat. I like flowery blouses but I only own one that fits and it’s men’s I tailored.

    Hopefully this is okay as a vibe descriptor? I wasn’t sure how to respond.

      I’m seeing mixed units, similar coloring here. Also very tall. So a lot of what I said there applies.

      Dark colors and a vibe are more important to a goth look than sticking to black all the way through. Those colors I mentioned, greens and reds? They work well with that. Add on accessories that look like slightly too much. You wear a lab coat? Fuck it play that up, wear heavy dark gloves and hang goggles or a respirator around your neck as an accessory. Pair with black slacks and a conservative black blouse (or black scrubs).

      For business-shit that doesn’t look boring youre going to want to do layers and embroidery rather than prints.

      Layers:

      So a high cut tank in one color, a low/medium cut top, abd a coat/cardigan/whatever, harder to do with pants, but you can see how the concept works. The utility is normal clothing items function as accessories creating shapes and drawing eye, can mix colors/prints, it can look extremely put-together/professional, and you can take things on/off for temperature throughout the day.

      Sorry I’m out of it for some reason today. Bother me later and I’ll have better for you.
